Angie Jerez is an artist from Colombia who moved to Atlanta in 2012. She grew up in a decayed neighborhood in Bogota, full of cramped spare parts shops with their own aesthetics and organization. This unique neighborhood influenced her concept of beauty, perfection, and authenticity. Using nature as a collage of inspiration, she creates drawings with detailed linework: abstract subjects surrounded by organic shapes.
